The Institute for High Frequency Technology and Electronics (IHE) is working on various current topics in high frequency technology and is looking for additional scientific staff for the following research topics:
Miniaturized millimeter wave systems for radio communication and radar sensors: the IHE researches millimeter wave circuits and packaging solutions for highly integrated millimeter wave radio modules with integrated antennas. State-of-the-art semiconductor technologies such as SiGe, GaAs together with flip-chip bonding, 3D printing and other packaging technologies are used. The aim of the projects is to invent concepts for small millimeter wave radio systems that can be manufactured inexpensively for mass markets. Applications are, for example, radio links with 100 Gbps and more or small, high-precision sensors for industrial automation, drones, etc. Your job consists of the design of innovative, integrated millimeter-wave circuits or the concepts for the new packaging solutions together with the RF design of antennas and signal connections.
Test procedures for radar systems in autonomous vehicles: together with the TU Ilmenau and several partners from the automotive industry, future test procedures for radar systems in autonomous vehicles are to be researched. The aim of the project is the design and implementation of a reliable, reproducible and real-time capable end-to-end system evaluation of integrated, in the future also imaging, vehicle radars for environment recognition as a prerequisite for highly and fully automated driving. Your job consists of working on the concepts of the overall system as well as researching efficient methods for simulating the radar wave propagation and modeling the radar systems.
We offer you a full-time position in the German academic salary group TV-L E13 in an interdisciplinary research environment at the interface between electrical engineering and information technology, computer science and mechanical engineering, which offers you a lot of scientific freedom. The doctoral degree typically lasts 3 to 5 years.
The KIT has an excellent international network and, with over 9,000 employees, is the largest research institution in Germany and the largest employer in Karlsruhe. We offer you a demanding scientific task that involves a high degree of independence, a wide range of further training measures and the use of state-of-the-art technical equipment.
